"...Lydia Mordkovitch ... gives a dazzling spunky reading of this intoxicating work and is supported by Neeme Jarvi and the Scottish National Orchestra with vivacious accompaniment."

‘This disc is an absolute winner… Wallfisch and Thomson turn in a reading of fiery intensity… I cannot overemphasize the importance of this issue. The sound is spectacular, the music well worth attention, and the performances are all that can be asked.’Fanfare

‘Raphael Wallfisch plays superbly, achieving a near-miraculous pizzicato espressivo in the opening and closing pages of the first movement… Wallfisch gives it his all – eloquence, range of colour, fine control of the long phrase. It makes very enjoyable listening.’Gramophone
